“Into a box of friendship

To insure that it is strong

First a layer of respect

On the bottom does belong

Then to the sides attach

In the corners where they meet

Several anchors full of trust

Devoid of all deceit,

The height of friendship can be measured

By the sides of four

So make them all a larger cut

And the box will hold much more.

Now fill it up with courtesy,

Honor and esteem,

Understanding, sympathy

And passion for a dream.

Add to that your honesty,

Emotions joy and love

And since they’re so important

Place them up above.

But leave the box wide open

So all can see inside

To learn what makes a friendship work

From a box where God abides.”
